Building An Authoritative Travel Blog

Authoritative blogs seem all the rage at the moment but what exactly is an " Authoritative Travel Blog ?" Well my understanding of the matter is it is a blog that is not only very informative to the readers but that the information comes from authoritative type people in connection with what they are writing about.

Hopefully my articles below will give an insight on travel and travel related experiences from all over the world from many authoritative writers as they have been there and done that.

Articles will be and are published often and this means current travel experiences and up to date places to visit. If you have also visited these places or wish to comment then please do so remembering this blog is intended to family orientated visitors so please be respectful.

I have seen many fears raised through my article site and feel that any traveller today that, for one reason or another, decides against travel insurance then they are possibly being a little short sighted. We do not want our boats to sink but are happy to carry life rafts. travel insurance is a similar idea. We do not wish to ever claim on it but if things go wrong as they sometimes do it is a benifit to have the insurance.

And it's hard to choose a cultural image as well: an Aborigine warrior; a weary sheep farmer; a young professional. All of these images represent Australia. It's a land of stunning contrasts and diversity. When visiting, you can always find something you want to donarrowing your choices is the difficulty.

And because of its size, you can almost always find something in the climate you prefer. Keep in mind that it's on the other side of the equator from the U.S., so their summer is our winter, and so forth.

One attraction of Sydney is that almost everything you would like to do lies within easy reach of the downtown area.
